American Ingenuity At Work

At the local grocery the other day there was this.     

Whoa!  Bottled adult beverage in the cleaning supply isle?  

Upon closer examination it happens to be hand sanitizer.  Seems the COVID-19 pandemic has brought out the best in home-grown American business ingenuity.  Truth be told – I never would have known about full Throttle Distillery until I stumbled-across this.  

A wee bit of web surfing has revealed that in the quaint town of Trimble, Tennessee you will find the Full Throttle Distillery – a craft distiller of small batches of authentic Tennessee whiskey.    

Using locally-sourced corn the grain is ground at the distillery in preparation for fermenting the mash.  After the passage of several days the mash is distilled to produce a product weighing-in at 60-70 proof.  A follow-up distillation produces 125-135 proof authentic Tennessee whiskey.  Nice.  

Once this pandemic nonsense allows us all to return to normal lives – including travel – I’m going to add this place to my road trip itinerary.
